8 Must-See Olivia Wilde Movies, Including ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’

A respectable small-town pharmacist (played by Sam Rockwell) delivers a prescription to a lonely trophy wife (played by Olivia Wilde). She takes him on a walk on the wild side, which includes extra-large martinis, uninhibited bedroom behavior and the illicit pleasures of the pharmacopeia he has access to in his store. Composers Andrew Feltenstein and John Nau (“Anchorman 2”; “Casa De Mi Padre”) load the soundtrack with whimsical, colorful, and jazzy tunes; not unlike what one might experience under the influence in this murderously dark comedy.

Olivia Wilde also stars in the following films: People Like Us(with Walk of Shame‘s Elizabeth Banks), Butter (with Draft Day‘s Jennifer Garner), The Girl Next Door (with The Motel Life‘s Emile Hirsch), Year One (with Superbad‘s Michael Cera), In Time (with Runner Runner‘s Justin Timberlake), The Words (with Hit & Run‘s Bradley Cooper)and Her (with Ain’t Them Bodies Saints‘ Rooney Mara). If you want to beef up on Olivia Wilde movie knowledge beyond her well-known roles in TRON: Legacy and TV’s The O.C., then this is a great place to start.
